On the other hand, the runit package on jessie does provide the binaries /sbin/runit and /sbin/runit-init that can be given to the kernel command line option init=/sbin/runit-init. The runit package on stretch does not provide those binaries anymore. For those users the upgrade to stretch will break. I understand that runit as pid1 isn't supported in debian, fair enough, but please at least package those few binaries along with the rest (without replacing /sbin/init).
